I'm a writer
Let me scream it in the halls
And write poetry about it in class
I will promote myself every where I go
After all I'm a walking poetry piece
My name even rhymes
I'll probably change this

Hospital poems 3
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
This is not a love note
Folded into a tiny paper square
This is no love note
saying check yes or no
no way is this a love note
saying my love for you
is a beautiful thing
this can't be some elementary love note
passing by
passing by the unsuspecting teacher
This is no middle school love note
Shoved in your locker
No way would I write how I feel
Trying to put it all on paper
No way I'm not passing you a love note

Thick thighs sitting in a small seat
Squeezing myself together
Compress my body into a small space
Make me thin
I'm pushing into my skin again
A small tear in the soft under belly of my arm
I want to tear my self apart
Silent screaming
Let me be thin

Sad Young Boy
Ellie Shelley Oct 2014
Sad young boy
Don’t cry
Put on a smile
Laugh away the nightmares
It’s only a dream
Not a reality
Don’t worry about them
Focus on you
Sad young boy
Smile cheerily
Don’t think
Live in the moment
Don’t let them get the best of you
You may not be able to see it
But I can see you light
Bright and beautiful
You make people so happy
Can you do that for you?
Sad young boy
I love you

I put on the cologne you left at my house
A dab on my sleeve
I've been holding it to my nose and thinking of you
You were my everything
and with each bitter sweet scent comes a bitter sweet memory
I loved you
Even when you just love my body
Or what you left it
I hate myself
with out you
You were this other half of me that was completed and I was always so happy and I know that people say you can't fall in love at a young age
But I did
I feel in love at 13 and I miss you
You are locked away for the next 22 years
you already served one year
and what the **** I miss you

Intoxicated
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
Your warmth
Put me
In a corner
I felt like
You had me
Against a wall
And I would have
Let you
Keep me
Warm
All over

Your warmth
Made me dizzy
Made me yours
I was Ready
To let you
Have me

Your warmth
Got me drunk
You
Got me
Intoxicated
From
The warmth
Of your hand

And now
I want all
Of you

I will give you
whatever
you want

You
intoxicate

Asking my friend to WPA
Ellie Shelley Jan 2015
How do I tell you
How perfect you seem?
How do I tell you
How amazing you are?
How do I tell you
What you mean to me?
How do I tell you
What the sight of you does to me?
You are the reason my heart flutters and flits
You are the reason my hands shake and my voice quits
So my one question for you is this
Will you be my date to WPA?
Just asking a friend to a dance theatrically

What kind of name is gyluss

I was standing outside
Smoking cancer
And I saw your shirt
My favorite band
And you already had me entangled in your fingers

I fell in love with poems
Words typed by you
With nothing to go on
But short conversations
And length poems
I became infatuated with words

Dear stranger
Ellie Shelley Jan 2015
I see you in my photos
There you are in my videos
You haunt me
Looking at you is captivating
I know you not
I make up your story
I make up the reason for the small scar on your face
I see you in my photos
There you are in my videos
Haunting my imagination
I love seeing people in my photos I don't know.

Writers Walk?
Ellie Shelley Oct 2014
I just want to inspire,
I remember coming here last year,
And **** did I admire,
The kids who got up,
And had the guts to speak,
Because I thought my voice was weak,
I just needed to find my time,
And it's so cliché but my time is now
And I'm going to own it
It's just like Carter said on the first day
"We're a little bit of this and a little bit of that"
Well I'm a little bit brave
And a little bit scared
But I am one hundred percent trying to reach you
Scream out if you are afraid
You will never know what you are made of
Till you at least try
There a unspoken afraid poets
Dreamers
Believers
Go getters
Waiting for a sign
Look no further
Your sign is right here, right now
I don't want to just reach the afraid
I want to praise the brave
The Spoken brave poets
The never silent
The achieving
The do-ers
My goal is to inspire
Because **** I want to admire
your spoken words
your written words
Your words Just Waiting to be written
You poets
Will be poets
It your time,
so stop waiting,
Own it

Watching my best friend
Stumble through the halls
Seeing her, make all
these bad choices
I can’t help
But to think
Why do I love you
My best friend
Since seventh grade
October twenty first
In gym
You gave me pills
When you were in
A lacy bra
I didn’t dare look down,
below your waist
Because I
Was a good christian girl
Not knowing
Why I was
Attracted to you
Thinking I was
Sinning
Until in
8th grade
When I
was Dared to
Kiss you
And That
Sealed
My fate
And now I can’t
Escape
Watching my best friend
Stumble through the halls
Seeing her, make all
these bad choices
I can’t help
But to think
Why do I love you
My best friend
I love you ******

Has a guy ever grabbed your ***
So hard
You felt
Like a real ****
Has a guy ever pushed you
So hard
You felt
Like it was your fault
Has a guy ever pressed his hands on you
So hard
You felt
Like you needed to be put in your place?

Poetry for me
Ellie Shelley Feb 2015
Infatuated with your poetry
With your big headphones
Crooked nose
The way you hold your head high
You walk with a confidence I am jealous of
You write
And I wish those words
Were for me
I wish you were writing a cast around my heart
I want to write out the feelings
Feeling that I get
Reading your poetry
Pretending you wrote for me
Pretending I am the girl with pale skin
Blowing bubble gum bubbles around your heart
I wish I was your midnight walk
I wish I was the infatuation
Infatuation of your poetry
I wish I was that temporary gravitational pull
You couldn’t get away from
I wish I was the blonde
Blonde girl
your eye was on
But I am the
olive skin girl
With pink hair
Blowing smoke rings
Around my head
Hoping to blind myself
So I can just pretend
You wrote those poems for me
This is kinda every where

Court
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
I’m sitting in this court room and everyone hurries past
The girls heels clip the floor
Juveniles sit around me looking like they are about to cry
People that look so out of place in the clothes they wear now
All they want is for the judge to take their side
They look so nervous
You can tell they’ve spent months trying to prepare themselves for this day, but its never enough
I see little children looking so naive and scared
Their angry parents trying to win the love and affection
Really just trying to break the others heart
Thinking this is what they need to do

Dear, you are my poetry in motion
Your fluid movement
Sharp chin, keen eyes
Baby, you are my poetry in motion
Even writers block
Can't stop my mindless ramblings over you
It can't stop my long winded description of every step you take
Sweetheart, you are my poetry in motion
Your loud footsteps carrying you closer to your dream
Your writing making people feel
Darling, you are my poetry in motion

Girlfriend
Ellie Shelley Sep 2015
She's my first girlfriend
And she makes me unbelievably happy
Her smile is a vibrant ray
And her soft kisses make me giggle
She's shy and out going
Perfection in a nut shell
She is like a little puppy
Easily scared with new people
Loving and attentive
She is my first girl friend.

-What is Beauty?-
Cats, and you, and pizza, and you
Ellie Shelley May 2015
I would skipped dinner for a week
No a month
I would take out every piercing
I could wrap my skin in my insecurities
So you wouldn't see any scars

I would spin myself
on the tip of my melting point
just so you could feel heat
even if it slowly killed me

The crack of dawn
would be my new bestfriend
we would work tirelessly till we
till we were beautiful enough to wake up to

even if it was a wasted effort
Because you didn't tell me I looked nice today

But I would shed every pound till I was just a skeleton
If that would make you happy

Because you only fall for pretty girls
Maybe if I dyed my hair blonde
like your last girl
You would want me

I just cant help asking
If I was pretty, could I be yours?

That heart tattoo
Baby it doesn’t exist yet
Right now it is a small collection of stars on my thighs
My own galaxy
where I can play god
Its slowly expanding and soon
I’ll make it a black hole
And I’ll keep adding to it
Till it consumes me
And I will be gone from time, and light
And you

I need a form of closure
Because I don't really know if anything that happened was real
If your fingers really traced my thighs
If your teeth really broke the skin
If you really ever held me close
To know anything
Because even though you ruined me
You also created me

JannaLee there is a reason your middle name is hope
you have been through a **** storm
and come out a shining diamond
you have been shoved down in the dirt
and come out a beam of hope
you have been hidden away in a locked closet
and come out a beautiful rainbow
Babe its for you

Broken is something that happens to machines
It means gears are rusted, chains are busted
But people aren't machines
So you can't break people
Only makes them stronger

Talking about styles in class
The teacher points to me
How my clothes make a rebel
My attitude has no cause
My hair shows my need for attention
My expensive jacket shows wealth
But my cheap flats revel I am poor
I turn my attention to her
I say nothing
I just nod
She could figure me out in a few seconds
But I haven't been able to find myself out in 15 years

Dreams
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
Last night I sat with you in a dimly lit room
As we talk i went from a school girls crush to love
Sitting in this room
Our chairs come close together
This light slowly brightens
And I finally feel this real true love
For once it is your hand that reaches out
As I take it you pull me close in a warm embrace
So comforting
You tell me secrets
You tell me your flaws
You pour out your heart
And slowly I do the same
Putting my heart on the line as you softly mutter
"I think I'm in love with you"
I  spill out these words back to you
And just as it all fall perfectly into place
I am ripped from you to the other side of the room
You fall hard to the floor unmoving
I try to run to you yet I cannot
As the worst of my panic sets in
An alarm goes off
And I am awake
I look to the clock to see its only four in the morning
And all I want to do is see if your okay
But I don't dare
Instead I take my bottle from under my bed
And drown my emotions in this numbing poision

Coffee Rings
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
I feel like the coffee ring on your paper
The water spill on your essay
The wine stain on your counter
The things that you wish were gone
But stain
I feel like I stain you
Bringing you down
Your hands try to proclaim your love
You face tries to express it
But I can’t feel it
I feel the hatred I feel like I deserve
The cold of being alone in my mind
I feel like the coffee ring on your paper
So tell me, am I?
